Federal Aviation Administration
14 CFR Part 71
[Airspace Docket No. 99-AGL-25]
Modification of Legal Description of the Class D Airspace;
Cincinnati, OH
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action modifies the legal description of the Class D
airspace at Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field, OH. The legal
description for this airspace includes a reference to excluding that
airspace within the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport,
KY, Class C airspace area. This Class C airspace designation is being
revoked, and effective at 0901 UTC, July 15, 1999, a Class B airspace
area for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport will be
established (Airspace Docket No. 93-AWA-5, final rule published in the
Federal Register on November 30, 1998, 63 FR 65972, effective date
delayed on December 14, 1998, 63 FR 68675, and confirmation of
effective date on April 12, 1999, 64 FR 17934). The reference to Class
C airspace in the legal description for the Class D airspace at
Cincinnati Municipal Airport Lunken Field is incorrect, and this action
changes that reference to Class B airspace.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 0901 UTC, November 4, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
History
On Tuesday, May 4, 1999, the FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 71
to modify the legal description of the Class D airspace at Cincinnati,
OH (64 FR
[[Page 38303]]
23805). The proposal was to correct the legal description of the
existing controlled airspace to reflect the correct reference to the
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, KY, Class C
airspace area.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
proceeding by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA.
No comments objecting to the proposal were received. Class D airspace
designations are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order 7400.9F dated
September 10, 1998, and effective September 16, 1998, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D airspace
designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.
The Rule
This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 modifies the legal description of
the Class D airspace at Cincinnati, OH, by changing the reference to
the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, KY, Class C
airspace area to Class B. The area will be depicted on appropriate
aeronautical charts.
The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this regulation--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71
Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).
